    Crab fried rice was amazing
    Janny K.

    I came by this place because I was next to a basketball gym. The food service was really good and came out fast . I love all my dishes i ordere . Thai tea was refreshing and I asked for less sweet. The food tastes really amazing.And the pricing is really good.They have daily lunch specials around fifteen dollars a meal. The food was perfect taste not too salty.And not too oily. I will definitely come back here again. The ambien was very quiet. Server we had so so kind!!! she packed our food to go when we asked for check. Thanks so much !!!!

    I have tried MANY thai restaurants. Second one in Riverside and it was not good. I order pad see ew for pick up. Flavor was not it. It honestly had a weird aftertaste. I'm not sure if the meat was old. I got beef and it is an extra $1 and it was dry and taste old.. It was hardly edible. I just ate all the broccoli and only ate some because I spent $20 on it but I threw away more than half away. For one, it is made with regular broccoli and not chinese broccoli. That should've been the giveaway that it most likely wouldn't taste traditional. I had my partner pick it up for me and told him to ask for crushed pepper a few pickled jalapeños but they said they couldn't give anymore. Lame. The pickled jalapeños made it a little better but i didn't have enough of it. I just gave two stars for effort but unfortunately won't be returning.

    Absolutely love this place! My husband ordered Thai Star BBQ for his company luncheon. 11 dishes- all of which were so delicious. The service was so accommodating and they even threw in a few extras at no cost. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Thai food with great service.

    I came to eat here yesterday during lunch time :) The staff are attentive, sweet, soft-spoken, and friendly! The restaurant is beautiful! We ordered 2 lunch specials and a yellow curry for Togo. The portions were excellent! The food was delicious and will come back again! The staff that took care of us even said "Thank you" in our language, I was surprised she knew we were Korean ! Sorry I didn't eat much of the meal, I am currently going through health issues and have lost my appetite. The food is excellent and I wish I could eat it all!

    I always enjoy coming here for lunch and dinner. We are always greeted and seated right away. There seems to only be one person working the floor but she doesn't miss a beat. She is very friendly and very attentive. There is nothing special about the decor, it looks old and could use some updating, but the food is delicious and that's why I go. This time around my daughter ordered the chicken curry lunch special and I ordered Pad See Ew lunch special. You get a nice amount of delicious food.

    They make you feel like you're home, the food is exceptional, they always ask how spicy you like it, which I find so satisfying, my family lives eating here! Thank you for your service Thai Star Bbq.

    Mango sticky rice. Mango is big enough but not sweet. Sticky rice is okay. Presentation could be better.

    Pad see ew. Taste okay, i really want to like this place because its close to my house. but i lost my appetite because one of server smells bad(armpit). I stop eating my food while she passed me. I really want to enjoy my dinner but i cant. After 2 times she passed me, i decided to go and took picture as proof i was eating here. Manager/ owner please help your worker, i dont know what happent to her, but she need helps!! I talked to Sarah/ other server about it. I am really disappointed tonight.

    Pad Thai NOT SPICY. Not what I had requested

    I asked for hot(spicy) it was not. I requested extra peanuts. Didn't get I asked for white rice. Didn't get it. Do you even read customer's requests?

    L2. BBQ Pork Spare Ribs Lunch L19. Green Curry with Fish Lunch

    SOOO GOOD I THAI STAR BBQ AND STAFF IS SO FRIENDLY Green curry is so creamy; I asked for extra spicy and it was perfect! Spare ribs were juicy and perfectly cooked

    Sweet sticky rice with mango

    Going in the evening was lovely. Intimate, homey but put together, very sweet staff. Angel wings was a delicious first and instant lasting love for me and their sweet sticky rice with mango was so delicious. I'd love to visit again just for those!

Anyway... After perusing through the menu, which had quite a few blacked out items (black tape applied over the menu item) we both decided on the Tonkatsu Spicy Black Ramen Noodles as well a the Crispy Fried Rice appetizer... the appetizer was delivered but I had to request some small individual plates so that we could eat off of our own plate, rather than reaching over trying to share the same plate and making a mess on the table... no worries, small oversight (or so I thought at the time)... Next came the Ramen... Looked very appetizing, but again I had to get up and request a couple of soup spoons... went to dig in, and while the bottom of the bowl was warm, the broth itself was quite cold... after calling over the waitress and asking them to please reheat (even if they had to use the microwave)... the waitress took it back to the "open" kitchen and they used the microwave to reheat... The bowls were returned and as we started to eat, satisfied that the broth was indeed hot, we noticed a couple of items missing: the corn - no corn in the broth like it was described... in addition to that, no Wood Eared Mushrooms were in the broth either... the wood eared mushrooms set the "black" apart from the standard ramen and cost $.50 more per serving... when questioned about it, the hostess informed us that they didn't have any mushrooms... as a consolation, she offered us one of the "extra price" toppings in place if it... we opted for the tofu... a bowl of tofu pieces came out and although they appeared to have steam coming off of it, the tofu was cold as well... smh... The hostess returned them to to kitchen to be reheated... We received a 10% discount ($4.90 of of a $49 bill)... Not sure if they're going to make it with this level of service and food quality... Good Luck!

I'm scared and intrigued. I'm happy to report back I will admit I jumped to conclusions. The vermicelli was delicious and we ordered both grilled pork and beef; IMO beef was tastier. The portions were generous and the veggies were crisp and fresh! The fries were crispy and the beef was very tender. This would be a great dish to share because of the mountain of fries! The seafood by the pound sparked my interest because I'm a fan of Boiling Crab. I got the cajun house special sauce medium. You can also pick garlic butter or lemon pepper for your sauce option. It came out super saucy and thick..good but not comparable to BC. This had more of an Asian stir fry sauce feel. The staff were very attentive and came frequently enough to check on the table for water, etc. I appreciated the gloves for my shrimp since it was so saucy. The restaurant was half full, mild white noise...you could still hear each other. Solid 4 stars. Thumbs up from us! $13.50 Vermicelli / bun with 1 meat $11.49 Beef garlic butter fries $15.99/lb whole shrimp $8 Banh mi
